Karen Sheperd
motivation

Behind Sheperd's seemingly rational, detached, cool and objective demeanor (as described on the previous page), she is really far more passionate and emotionally intense, as described below.

Quiet, deep, emotionally complex and intensely private, she is not a person who is easy to get to know and understand. Karen Sheperd is extremely sensitive but disinclined to show it, and she only allows a special few into her inner world. Like a wary animal, she is cautious and mistrustful of those she does not know until "he sniffs them out". She is highly instinctive and intuitive. Karen Sheperd usually has a strong, immediate gut reaction to people, even though she may be unable to clearly articulate why she feels the way she does.

Karen Sheperd also has a powerful need for deep emotional relationships and she forms very intense love bonds and attachments. She is possessive and often jealous of anyone or anything that she perceives as a threat to her relationship with someone she loves. When Karen Sheperd commits herself to someone or something, she is wholeheartedly devoted and expects complete loyalty in return. Karen merges with or "marries" the person she loves at a very deep level and therefore separations are extremely painful for her, and often stormy and nasty. When Sheperd has been wounded, she is not inclined to turn the other cheek and will retaliate if at all possible. Karen will most certainly never forget the hurt and she often harbors grievances and resentment for a very long time. Forgiveness does not come easily to her.

Whatever she does, Karen does with passion and fervor, and she often goes to extremes. Sheperd can be hot or cold, but never lukewarm about anything. Sheperd can also be very narrow-minded: either she is 100% involved in something or it does not exist for her at all. Rarely is Karen Sheperd emotionally detached and objective.
